If you want to use preventitve officiating, why not tell the kid it's a spot throw in?
If you tell the player just something simple like "spot throw-in" or just "spot" the kids will know what they can do and there will be a lot less arguments when there is a violation.
If its a tight game with a lot of pressure. I'm going to tell the Offensive player its a spot throw in, you can go back to the wall whatever, and then I will tell Defense do not cross plane! (If there is no sideline space I will back defender up) Then if a call has to be made either way the coaches know what you have done.
